Usually after heat treatment, wood not only becomes immune to fungus and mold, it hardly gets wet and hardens significantly. After heat treatment of any type of wood, moisture penetrates inside 3-5 times worse. Therefore, many do not treat it with any protective agents and consider it inappropriate. However, wood still remains wood, it burns out in the sun, traces of use, chips, cracks appear on the surface, and over time it loses its attractive appearance, since the beautiful shade acquired as a result of heat treatment disappears, fading under the influence of weather conditions and solar ultraviolet radiation.
The beneficial properties of thermally modified wood also create a problem for its processing and protection, since wood preservatives do not penetrate its surface deeply enough. Therefore, it is often coated with organic varnishes and paints or organic oil-based products.
To preserve the beautiful shade of thermally modified wood for longer and protect its surface from fading, Bionic House has released oil for thermally modified wood - Thermowood oil. It is specially developed for thermally modified wood and hardwood. Thermowood oil not only penetrates deeper into the wood surface but also contains additives that preserve the original color and shade of thermally modified wood for longer. Thermowood oil is can be used indoors and outdoors. It also forms a reliable wear-resistant coating.
Why do we recommend Thermowood oil for protecting thermally modified wood? Because it is easy to work with, it does not leave streaks or stains that cannot be wiped off, it is better absorbed into hard wood than other types of wood preservatives, and it is easy to renew the coating with it almost without labor-intensive preparation, it is enough to wash off dust and dirt and dry the surface and you can impregnate it over the old, still “live” coating. In the case of other types of products, you often have to sand off the old layer, for example, varnish or paint, which is quite a labor-intensive task on thermally modified wood.
Try Thermowood oil by Bionic House and experience its quality and durability. If you have something to compare it with, we are sure you will appreciate it!
